He twisted her other hand behind his back and together with it, holding it with only one large hand.

With his free fingertips, he lifted her chin.

"Little jellyfish, quite fierce indeed." He chuckled mischievously. "Such a beautiful face, what a waste to hide it like this?"

The cool fingertips touched the soft flesh on the side of her face.

Shen Zhiyi's body stiffened.

Looking up, I met a defiant face.

The man's dark hair fell loosely and messily across his forehead. His skin was pale, but his pupils were an intense dark red. On his sculpted, handsome face, he looked like a fallen god, possessing a decaying yet noble beauty.

His eyes were upturned at the corners, his expression was nonchalant, and his lips curled into a faint smile.

At this moment, he was staring at her with great interest.

Shen Zhiyi keenly sensed his presence.

A vast expanse of desolate coldness, and feline elegance and cruelty.

Evil spirits are rampant.

Yet it is dazzling and mesmerizing.

He is a very dangerous person.

His aura was so strong that Shen Zhiyi instinctively felt fear, and a chill ran through her entire body.

"How...how did you know I was...?"

"How do I know your true form?" He stroked her cheek with his fingertips, touching her skin. The disguise vanished instantly, revealing her true appearance. "With such striking beauty, how could anyone not recognize your aura?"

"Do you know..." He suddenly leaned closer and smelled her scent.

The color of his pupils darkened even more.

"You smell too good?"

“No wonder those idiots are chasing after you.” He narrowed his eyes, his voice tinged with a low, husky pleasure. “I’d like to have a taste myself.”

His gaze swept across her face as if it were a tangible object.

Shen Zhiyi saw a hunger in his eyes that was even more terrifying than that of those high-level zombies, and she twisted in fear.

"Let me go!"

"Who are you?!"

The luminous jellyfish is an incredibly delicious meal for any high-level monster.

The person in front of me doesn't look like a normal person.

They might really eat her!

"I'll give you the crystal core, and you can let me go..." Her eyes flickered, and she put on a weak act, pleading softly, "Or, I'll help you find something to eat."

"I look so good that it's easy to get food from me."

In the end times, it's always better for two people to act than one.

She knew he would consider it.

She looked at him pitifully.

It extended a transparent tentacle, circled behind him, and waited for an opportunity to kill him...

"Food?" The man raised an eyebrow and smiled, his eyes playful yet wicked. "I don't eat that dirty stuff."

His gaze swept over her, and suddenly he curled his lips into a smile.

"However, I do need your help with something."

He pinched her chin, his thumb slowly grinding against her lower lip, his Adam's apple bobbing as he said in a hoarse voice, "Help me purify the negative energy in my body."

"As a reward, I'll give you something too."

He let go of her.

His carefree, nonchalant expression suddenly turned sharp!

He didn't turn around; instead, he grabbed the tentacle that was trying to attack him!

"ah--!"

Shen Zhiyi cried out in surprise.

The moment she opened her lips, the man leaned down and kissed her fiercely!
